Anyone remember my germination test from the self-saved tomato seeds?
And how I wanted to keep one of the plants over winter and toss the other 4?
Yeah, you probably know how that ended up...
>tossing perfectly healthy plants
I ended up replanting all 5 of them to a plastic planter, placed on a SW window with alu foil coated carboard behind for dat extra light, and they've been doing remarkably well so far
Problem is the absolute earliest I can plant them into the garden is about beginning of April... so is there a way to keep them stunted/growing very slowly without killing them? I thought about keeping them in their small planter (rootbound) and not fertilising, could this do the trick?
I did take one out today and replanted it into a bigger pot and am about to place it under grow light for about 16h/day in a somewhat warmer environment (20°C), hoping it'll flower soon and maybe net me a small harvest for Christmas
It was seeds from those very rich-carrying "cherry-style" volunteers that popped up in the garden late May and did remarkably well, with purplish leaves/stems and the fruit in green stage having those gooseberry-like darker "veins", also with a high tendency to grow suckers, so I estimate a significant admixture of S. pimpinellifolium...
